Chat, is this real?

yes.

and we're seeing it now because two days ago he wrote a long tweet (something only people who pay for twitter can do) musing about why so many people have been failing to understand that he was joking for the last eight years.

I get it, I'm also confused that not even the vine thing was enough to clue a bunch of people in this thread in.

It's just some light-hearted trolling. Pretty sad that the dude gets so much hate for something so harmless.

what's the joke?

Edit:

ok i read his explanation. so it was a joke to him. not to anyone else. i guess i can respect that, even though i don't see the likeness without peels either.

the “joke” is the lie is so stupid, it shows that anyone that believes he could believe potatoes are almost apples are the real stupid ones….

the same game any compulsive liar is playing.
“oh you actually believed that! hardy har har… just a little troll…”

So you really think that he believes that both apples and potatos grow on vines. Wow.

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago

so you really can’t read and took the exact opposite from what i was saying?
or is that your super clever troll technique?
